Israel Bombs Christian-Hospital Gaza: A Tragic Attack
Share and Follow

On June 5, 2025, Israeli forces bombed the courtyard of the Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, killing four journalists and at least two other civilians.

This attack, reported by Antiwar.com, Dave DeCamp, targeted a hospital run by the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem.

Consequently, Israel bombing the Christian hospital in Gaza raises grave concerns about violations of international law.

The Diocese condemned the attack, calling for adherence to the Fourth Geneva Convention.

The strike occurred at approximately 10:20 a.m. local time, killing journalists Suleiman Hajjaj, Ismail Badah, Samir al-Rifai, and Moataz Muhammad Rajab. These journalists worked for various Palestinian media outlets.

A father and another civilian died, while thirty others, including four hospital staff, were wounded.

The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem issued a statement. It condemned the attack, stating,

“This morning at about 10:20 am local time, Israeli forces fired inside the compound of our Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, killing three journalists, as well as two others, including a father who was escorting his son to our surgical unit for treatment from previous injuries.”

The Diocese called for respecting the “internationally protected sanctity” of hospitals. It demanded enforcing the Fourth Geneva Convention’s provisions for special protections for medical personnel, journalists, and civilians.

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate reported this massacre. It brings the total number of journalists killed by Israeli forces since October 2023 to 225. The Syndicate described it as part of a “systematic policy of targeting and killing journalists.”

Middle East Eye and WAFA confirmed the identities of the slain journalists. They noted the lack of warning before the bombing.

The Israeli military has not justified the strike on the hospital courtyard. It often claims Hamas uses civilian sites for military operations.

This incident adds to the over 54,607 Palestinians killed and 125,341 wounded in Gaza since October 2023.

The targeting of journalists undermines press freedom and the ability to report on the conflict. Therefore, it fuels global outrage and calls for accountability.

In turn, this controversy challenges the international community to enforce protections for civilians and media workers in conflict zones. The Episcopal Diocese’s call for action underscores the urgency of the situation.
